I am certain that this was never issued with a poster in the UK. The only limited edition version we had was the ‘Rush T-shirt offer’ as pictured. The problem with that was that you had to send the cover sticker in to claim it (there was no mail order insert inside) and the sticker was impossible to remove without tearing the cover… -
B-side: 5 stars:-
Circumstances: underated punchy rocker.
Trees: perfection.
La Villa Strangiato: possibly best rock instrumental ever! (by any band) perhaps t best with YYZ.
A-side: 4 stars:- Just a little too much repetition, spoils what would otherwise be a great suite.
